This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Ongoing / erratic problem with power steering system causing momentary loss of steering control. Dealer notified, and replaced steering sensor. Year later problem reoccurred. Please feel free to provide any further details.
Steering wheel position sensor was faulty, causing steering to float feeling like a momentary loss of steering for a second. Consumer wrote Chevrolet a letter.
Please note there seems to be a problem in steering that allows steering pressures to change while turning wheel, it is an odd feel that is noticed at low speeds
The failure manifested itself by means of oversteering to the point of loosing traction and skidding on rh or LH front wheel depending in which direction I was turning. It usually happened at approx. 30 mph. It is like the vehicle is "taking over" the steering. This occured many times until I had the "steering wheel position sensor" replaced. According to Chevrolet's customer service they are looking in to the problem, but at this time do not feel that it is a safety problem. I feel othervise since I almost lost control of the vehicle the first couple of times it happened.

Sterering wheel rotation sensor failed causing the steering wheel to jerk while driving. This family has three Suburban all the same year/model and they where all repaired for the same problem. Nlm
Steering sensor replaced several times due to steering jerking and directional problems, not able to rectify, finally consumer had the steering sensor taken out to remedy problem (design).
Subject vehicle has pulled, severely, to the right since purchase. The saleman said an alignment would fix the problem. The vehicle has been realigned three or four times, the steering wheel sensor has been replaced and the castor adjusted. The service department doesn't seem to know what else to do. The vehicle steering continues to pull dangerously to the right, especially when driving on a road (interstate or local) which has been sloped in that direction. The steering wheel constantly pulls in a clockwise direction. When driving in town or on the interstate, if the steering wheel were to slip out of your hand or you were to let go of the steering wheel for a second, the vehicle would run off the road. The steering also feels unstable and vague when driving on the interstate.
When driving at any speed the steering wheel is going to the left or to the right or wherever the steering takes the vehicle. Dealer replaced steering wheel sensor.
While driving and turning right the steering releases pressure and the steering wheel moves to the right about three inches, and then the pressure gets restored. Please provide any futher information.
